Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories per day

[DK II]

What's the matter, DonkeyKong?  I thought this was the board to discuss diet and nutrition.  I'm not arguing that he is natural.  We are just discussing the number of calories he claims to consume and whether or not that's possible.

There's no need to discuss this.

20secs of thinking will tell you that it's impossible to eat that crap and score 8 gold medals in one sitting.

Even on drugs?

Even on drugs?   

Yes, even on drugs.

I cannot believe you guys are even considering it is right.

If you eat that crap, you will sink like a stone.

What is this now? Arguing for the sake of it?

No.  Calm down DonkeyKong.  You stated your opinion.  No need to lose your cool and demand that the thread be deleted.

the thread is just dumb, it would fit to the z board.

How about the thread about eating donuts?  I don't see you protesting that one.

You seem angry that Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals.

lol, i'm not mad a tmichael phelps.

I didn't read the donut-thread, but i think it's nowhere near the BS that eating 12,000 cal of junk food every day will make you a world class swimmer.

It's one of the top threads on the board.

Nobody claims that's what made him a world class swimmer, not even him.  There is also talent, genetics, determination, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and all those years of training for hours a day.

But I'm not arguing with you.  I agree eating junk would hurt most athletes.

It's not that hard to eat 12000 calories if it's junk food.

The problem is how you turn all that junk into energy consuming only 3 meals!Most people would add some tons of fat.

If this guy says the truth about his eating habits he must have a "slight" hyper active thyroid...

Also i can't believe an athlete of his level eating only 3 times daily.

P.S. Where are the drugs in his list?LOL

Even if you did manage to eat that much on one day, you surely wouldnt even come close the next. I called BS on that article the second I read it. I think the article is almost a setup for energy drink sales.



Swimming with a full stomach is impossible. It hurts. Even if he has an extreme metabolism, he would be spending a lot of time in the can.


The diet is not realistic, I don't care who you are. You could be morbidly obese and have a hard time eating like that.

You would be a plugged-up lethargic pig.
